About the Book

HIV and AIDS are having a profound impact on contemporary life in Thailand, generating complex issues with far-reaching implications for both the Thai people and on a global level. AIDS has become an increasingly prominent symbol of modernity in Thailand, yet ways of dealing with AIDS and HIV draw on time-honoured understandings of fate and misfortune, disease and contagion, gender and pollution. Endangered Relations provides a crucial analysis of how public health has attempted to control the threat of HIV infection, and how this has combined with local understandings of identity and sexuality; it sets in place a broad range of personal and social responses to the ongoing epidemic. An illuminating study of the way in which Thai social relations, and in particular Thai sexualities, shape the history of HIV and AIDS in Thailand, Endangered Relations offers a unique perspective on the complicated ways that disease is negotiated in cultural, political, and human terms.

Table of Contents:
Introduction - the approach and the setting; storm warnings throughout Thailand; policing the virus; socialising sexuality in village life; in and out of bounds - marriage, affairs and minor wives; paying for sex; raincoats, risk and the "love-your-wife" disease; afterword -fated tales.

Review :
"The strength of the book lies in the integration of the content analysis of media messages related to AIDS and the ethnographic-based analysis of sexuality in village life....Researchers and planners...will find the analysis of mass media approaches to AIDS in Thailand insightul. "Sojourn, Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia." ..."Compassionate, critical, original and of great practical value...the information it provides should be made available as soon as possible to those working with HIV and AIDS both in Thailand and elsewhere." -Shirley Lindenbaum of City University of New York "An outstanding analysis of the manner in which local people have responded to the growing epidemic of HIV and AIDS." -Peter Aggleton of University of London, UK "Endangered Relations...is a groundbreaking book that will change the way we think about HIV and AIDS not only in Thailand, but in the world system more generally." -Richard Parker of Columbia University "One of the most thorough anthropological explorations and interpretations of responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand..." -Bencha Yoddumnern-Attig of Mahidol University, Thailand
